Is running in the TCS New York City Marathon on your Bucket List? Join with us to check it off!

Minding Your Mind is grateful to have been named an Official Charity Partner for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon, the world’s most popular marathon, taking place this year on November 6.

This designation provides us TEN guaranteed entries into the 2022 marathon. In exchange for one of these entries, a runner must raise a minimum of $3,000 for Minding Your Mind. Also, Minding Your Mind pays the required registration fee for our runners, allowing them to put all their energy into training and supporting our mission!

Minding Your Mind provides mental health education and suicide prevention training in schools, communities, and workplaces around the country. 

Our goal as an organization is to reduce stigma and end the destructive behaviors often associated with mental health challenges.

We start teaching kids as young as kindergarten how to talk about their emotions and find positive ways to express themselves. We have young adults speakers who share their lived experience in coming through a mental health crisis, and clinicians that provide age-appropriate presentations and hold conversations to let others know they aren’t alone and help is available. Minding Your Mind programs move away from crisis-based response to prevention through education.

If you are interested in raising funds to provide more of these programs to schools and communities around the country, please consider running on our behalf. Contact Maura Wheeler, director of communications, for more information.
